Turbine wheels

Does anyone run the turbine wheel from the GT? If so what size tires are you running? Also will these fit on a 88 TC? Thanks for any help Rod

Not running them but they will fit. There is a burgundy 88 near me with them on. I like the way it looks.

I use the them on the rear in the winter with snow tires. size will be different for normal use, but they do fit.

The 16 spoke "turbine" wheels from a Mustang GT are 15"x7" with a 5" backspacing.
Dimensionally they are exactly the same as the '85-'86 TurboCoupe & XR-7 10-hole wheels.

A gold version of this wheel was used on the 1987 20th Anniversary Cougar.
And in 1988 it became the standard equipment wheel on the XR-7, it came painted to match the body color of red, black or white. But the argent color was an option.

I had them when I first got my bird--yes they fit, the tire size on them was 215/60 vr15 goodyears I believe. For a good look though, go wider--looks more aggresive.
